A unique practicum experience for education students combining teaching in a French-language classroom at either primary or secondary schools and volunteer work in the community.

This program, offered year-round, is an experiential learning practicum in French language teaching. It is offered to education students interested in teaching French Immersion, Intensive French or Core French in elementary and secondary schools.

Experience the language and the culture

Students will improve their French language skills and gain confidence in using French with their students, develop their teaching skills and acquire a deeper knowledge of Quebecois culture through various sociocultural activities.  Accommodation and meals are provided by local host families.
